Bar timer to small on high res screens

[ShaneAU]

Hi guys,

The bar timer text is to small, or needs to be adaptive to screen resolution, or have the option to change the text size in the indicator settings.

Please see attached screenshot on a 3200 x 1800 res screen (with windows setting to increase font sizes 150%). It doesn't appear to adapt the size as the text is microscopic.

Cheers,
Shane

Hello Shane,

You can increase the size of text in the chart as follows. Please right click in the chart and select 'Properties'. Click the Font setting and increase the Size setting that now appears.

I will forward the suggestion to configure the text size of just the BarTimer to development.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply. This sort of worked... it did make the text bigger for the bar timer, but unfortunately in order to make the text size of the bar timer large enough to read, i have to choose such a large font size that the price & time markers on the chart become way to big. This seems to be because the bar timer goes to a much smaller size than the other text no matter what I enter.

I appreciate the info though, I think I will adjust this font size even though it won't solve this particular problem.

Cheers,
Shane

Change line 127 to something like this..

 [COLOR=#080808]TextFormat[/COLOR] [COLOR=#080808]textFormat[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#0000ff]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#080808]TextFormat[/COLOR]([COLOR=#080808]Core[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]Globals[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]DirectWriteFactory[/COLOR], [COLOR=#b22222]"Arial"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#080808]SharpDX[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]DirectWrite[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]FontWeight[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]Bold[/COLOR], [COLOR=#080808]SharpDX[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]DirectWrite[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]FontStyle[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]Normal[/COLOR], [COLOR=#080808]SharpDX[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]DirectWrite[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]FontStretch[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]Normal[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff8c00]20f[/COLOR]) { [COLOR=#080808]TextAlignment[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#080808]SharpDX[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]DirectWrite[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]TextAlignment[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]Leading[/COLOR], [COLOR=#080808]WordWrapping[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#080808]WordWrapping[/COLOR].[COLOR=#080808]NoWrap[/COLOR] };

and then adjust the fontsize (20f) to whatever you like, or declare and use a float variable/property so that you can dynamically adjust thru the indicator properties..

You'll won't be able to do this to the default indy, so you'll have to save it with a different name first..

Brilliant thanks Edge I'll give this a whirl in the morning!
